U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi wants to encourage off-duty police officers to serve as substitute teachers by giving them a break on their federal taxes.

Tiberi, R-Genoa Township, plans to introduce a bill that would exempt police officers from federal taxes on income generated from substitute teaching. The proposed legislation would provide an incentive for officers to work in schools, where they might protect students, instead of taking more lucrative special-duty jobs, Tiberi announced at Reynoldsburg High School's Summit Campus on Friday.
